“Packaging just recently showed me what you were able to achieve on the old Cyber White line to allow these cartons to combo in with our new Crystal line. You and your team deserve some congratulations and thanks for the effort and the way that you worked with our design and packaging groups to allow these two important lines to merge. This allowed us to retain the older line at much smaller numbers without impacting the cost to the brand. We are quick in this day and age to criticize, but rarely do we take the time to praise. Thank you and your team for the effort. It was and is appreciated.”- Larry Frey, Estee Lauder Companies

“I was very impressed with your collective organization, the articulate detail with which all shared the highlights of their respective organization and focus area, the current and competitive nature of all Arkay processes and systems. Clearly, all in the organization shared the same objective and vision, and were involved in delivering on the same. Your utilization of Goodwill is excellent. This set a very good example for the community, and delivers a great product for EA. Your site cleanliness and organization was evident, and I encourage you to maintain the same. This is a real demonstration of a tight and organized business, and sets the tone for interactions and how each area runs their business.”- Forry Weatherby, Elizabeth Arden
